“In 2009, SPRAR reception affected 2840 beneficiaries: 42% has left the protection system after completing the integration procedure, while 21% has chosen to drop out of the territorial project. Moreover, 20% has completed the reception procedure as set by SPRAR guidelines, 6% has been eliminated due to serious motives and 1% has opted for assisted repatriation.”
“Integration is still the main result obtained by the beneficiaries, a fact that confirms the validity of “integrated reception” and all its components. Notwithstanding the critical issues that continue to emerge and the inevitable rise of new problems, it remains the most effective and coherent answer to the socio-economic integration of subjects who have international protection.”

Internet Café & Social Learning
For over two years, the Fondazione Mondo Digitale has been organising activities to teach ICT at the Centro Enea in Rome, a second-degree reception facility for refugees and asylum seekers. This includes both an Internet Café, formal Microsoft-certified courses, innovative didactic courses on Italian legislation (KStudio Associato) and local activities with schools.
From June 2008 to June 2010, 323 refugees have been trained and the e-Café has provided over 75,000 accesses to the Internet. These are just a few figures from a forthcoming report addressing New Technologies for the Inclusion of Immigrants and Refugees by Alfonso Molina, former Chilean refugee, who is currently a Professor of Technology Strategy at the University of Edinburgh and Scientific Director of the Fondazione Mondo Digitale. The 200-page report documents three years of work at the Centro Enea in Rome, a second-degree reception facility for refugees and asylum seekers. [Also see: Publication Outline (pdf)].
At the Centro di Pietralata, based on the Centro Enea model, the FMD organizes training activities for the “double code” of social inclusion: Italian language and digital literacy for foreign citizens. The activities are organised as part of an Internet Café with twenty networked computers that have been restored by students in the schools of Rome.
